2020 will be even uglier for Republicans, because most of the seat up for election in the Senate will be held by Republicans.
Once again America overwhelmingly rejected Trump.
So let's stop pretending Trump is doing anything other than running scared

I'm not even sure what I see spoken as truth anymore, and that's just what the guys signing the checks over at CNN, MSNBC, FOX, & all the rest of em want. They are making a killing off of this guy and until there is either grassroots movement or some more reporters like Acosta start demanding answers, not the 3-minute distraction answers that comes out of Trump's mouth.
I don't expect it to get much better, in time I believe they will get the message though, Donald Trump is not friends with the press. I mean one of their Co-workers, Jamahl Khashoggi was tortured and murdered by a regime that Trump and Trump inc have ties to, and I haven't havent seen an upswell in moments like what Acosta did. These guys and gals doing these reports better start to grasp that Donald Trump is no friend of the press. He will talk of the glowing ratings of Fox news (who he gets a daily presser from) because they are friendly to him, but if you cross him with a bad report, or even worse have an opinion piece written by him and he will set his full ire upon you.
